Thanks.<BR />However I have more than 40 playlist/ albums saved and I really hate to<BR />remove them and search them back…<BR /><BR />This is really unbelievable Spotify doesn't have solution for it.<BR />It works fine before but happen recently.

I have tried clearing cache and data and reinstalling Spotify but this problem persists. As I say casting from Google Home or any other apps on the phone work fine. It's just Spotify which is broken.

<P>Hey <LI-USER uid="430144"></LI-USER>. Welcome to our Spotify Community!</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>We'd recommend making sure that all devices are on the same WiFi network. Also, your Spotify app should be up-to-date.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Just to check, have you give it a go using another device instead of your phone? If not, the best option would be to try it.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Let us know how it goes <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Take care.</P>Wed, 29 Aug 2018 20:50:48 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4557230#M56500Aimee_T2018-08-29T20:50:48ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4557261#M56504
<P>Yes, all devices are on the same network. And Spotify apps are fully up to date.</P><P>Spotify&nbsp;has stopped working with Chromecast on all devices. Chromecast works fine with everything except Spotify. I have re-installed Spotify. Even done a factory reset on my phone and then re-installed Spotify. And <SPAN>&nbsp;I have completely re-set-up Chromecast too from scratch.&nbsp;</SPAN>And done a complete power cycle on all network devices.</P><P>It has just stopped working. When I choose chromecast device I get "connecting" on my phone and the Spotify logo on the chromecast screen, but that's where it stops.</P><P>This is ONLY Spotify. Everything else works on Chromecast. (EXCEPT also the Spotify desktop app (windows) which doesn't list the chromecast under devices available. All other apps, video players, etc, find the chromecast device no problem)</P><P>So Spotify, and ONLY Spotify, is COMPLETELY BROKEN with Chromecast. And this has only happened recently, it used to work fine and I have made no changes on my network, the only thing that has changed are Spotify updates.</P>Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:55:49 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4557261#M56504fresh-ear2018-08-29T21:55:49ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4565234#M56948

<P>Hey <LI-USER uid="430144"></LI-USER>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<LI-USER uid="512268"></LI-USER>,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Could you ask a friend or family member that also uses Spotify to try to stream using your Chromecast? Find out if they are able to play music. That way we can find out if this is perhaps account related.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Let us know what the result is. Looking forward to your reply.</P>

<P>I’ve been having this problem for a long time. One day, Spotify just stopped working with Google Cast Groups. It acts like it’s going to connect, I’ll even here the connect sounds on some devices, and then it just fails to connect. Google Play works fine with the same groups and individual Google Cast devices. This problem is exclusive to Spotify. Casting to Google Cast devices and groups is a long neglected feature that Spotify needs to work with Google to fix or just stop adverstising it as a feature.</P>Wed, 03 Oct 2018 23:09:45 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4580150#M57542PatrickHN2018-10-03T23:09:45ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4580177#M57544

<P>In my case, it's not all the time it's not working, but it's very unreliable. So for example when I try to connect to the chromecast with spotify and nothing works, it still works with different chromecast supported apps. A couple of hours later, it might work again with spotify.&nbsp;The behaviour is very&nbsp;odd and I hope you guys can fix that, because the chromecast integration is very important to me and I have to think about changing to a different service, if it's not getting better...</P>Thu, 04 Oct 2018 06:01:59 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4580288#M57549mueggi2018-10-04T06:01:59ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4583153#M57650

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Just to confirm, are you all on the latest version of the Chromecast app as well? If not, make sure to upgrade.</P>

<P>Im having the same issue. Spotify wont cast to any device and It seemed to start just recently. I know this is an account issue and not a device issue with my phone or chromecast(s). My wife (who is on my family plan) is able to cast to all of our devices without issue. My phone wont cast spotify and my google home wont cast spotify.

Hi<BR /><BR />I still haven’t gotten any updates on this and it’s really frustrating. I pay for a family plan but can’t even listen to music the way I want because the app drops out all the time when using cast ( this is only way for me to play music on multiple speakers at once).<BR />Can someone provide an update ?? Should I just switch to Apple Music ? Don’t want to keep paying for something that won’t work.. what’s the point<BR />Sat, 06 Apr 2019 18:09:04 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4721366#M63271SteveFr2019-04-06T18:09:04ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4744662#M63928

<P>I had this issue...it was driving me nuts and even more so when I realised it depended on what album I was playing. It connected on one then when I tried to switch to another I'd get the women's voice saying the music has stopped because Spotify was playing on another device (it wasn't) and it disconnected from the Chromecast. Solved the issue by removing the albums that wouldn't play from my library then finding them again using the search function. They then connected without issue. None of the albums I attempted to play were downloaded, just saved to my library. I'm glad I worked it out but not very impressive update from Spotify. Was almost cancelling my subscription of many years.</P>Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:32:34 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4780659#M65481Robbstewart2019-07-03T14:32:34ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4801705#M66167

Hi Petersheep,<BR />If you are experiencing the discrete problem of albums or I guess playlists<BR />not casting then first try removing them and searching for them again and<BR />saving. I did that and an album which wouldn't cast now does. Good luck!<BR />Sat, 14 Sep 2019 07:33:43 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4822974#M66657Lancelink2019-09-14T07:33:43ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4822980#M66658

<P>I have the same problem. Everything is up to date date. Everything is on the same network. The only way I can fix it is to clear storage in the Spotify app in Android settings. When I do this I can cast to my Chromecast Audio for a few hours. Then when I come back it has stopped working completely. My other music apps don't have this problem so it must be your app. Please fix it quickly!&nbsp;</P>Sun, 06 Oct 2019 15:33:55 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4836967#M67021david_qvist2019-10-06T15:33:55ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4837951#M67034

Same problem, chromecast ultra works flawlessly with every other app except spotify, that speaks for itself really. I can cast every once and a while but once it locks itself out you are stuffed. Spotify is actually my most hated app in terms of bugs currently. This should be a priority 1 bug IMHO.Wed, 09 Oct 2019 23:53:34 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4838983#M67078alchemistnz2019-10-09T23:53:34ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4843619#M67303

<P>I've been having on going issues with this as well. Using latest versions of everything on android, I seem able to play for a bit then it gets lost and can't be found. Desktop version of spotify most of the time can't even find my chromecast devices. Google home shows them and I start spotify that way but no luck getting things to sink back up. I have a chromecast audio and newer chromecast with HDMI. If I send to both in home group it seems to work better.<BR />I also tried Google Home to cast audio to devices, then play songs from spotify on phone, that worked for 1 minute.</P><P>When I select the group I can hear the chromecast audio make a noise, and the hdmi displays that it has connected to spotify, but it doesn't play music.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I finally sent spotify music directly to my Onkyo amp, then I was able to select the google home group and have it work.</P>Thu, 24 Oct 2019 20:18:56 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4847180#M67368Snowcoyote2019-10-24T20:18:56ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4850225#M67421
<P>I've been having this issue on and off for months. I think it is due to how Spotify creates it's connections to determine concurrent listeners to an account. They have their own bespoke casting infrastructure, which enables you to "cast" (play music) on any other Spotify connected device. This allows them to centralise streaming and easily support so many platforms, but it appears to cause issues with the good old Chromecast streaming. Too many links in the chain me thinks.</P>Wed, 30 Oct 2019 20:58:33 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4850225#M67421mummybot2019-10-30T20:58:33ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4851559#M67444
<P>Same issue here. Got two Audio's, three video, gen 1,2 and 3, all is fine with every cast app, except spotify. On Android 9.1. Everything is updated. Also note that the spotify app on my macbook pro does not see the chromecasts any more.

<P>I have been having issues recently exactly as reported by the OP. Casting from other apps on my phone works fine. I used to have no problems casting from the Spotify app, but recently whenever I try it says 'connecting' for a little while, then gives up. I've tried restarting Spotify, my phone, and the Chromecast. I've tried clearing the Spotify cache. Everything is up to date - my phone is set up to auto-update apps. Very unusual. I am not sure what to try next in terms of troubleshooting.</P><P>Pixel 3</P><P>Android 10 security patch Oct 5 2019</P><P>Spotify 8.5.30.579</P>Sat, 02 Nov 2019 18:37:49 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4851698#M67449dead_wrestler2019-11-02T18:37:49ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4853572#M67494

<P>I have a temporary fix for myself on this, which may be of help to others:</P><OL><LI>On a computer on the same network, login to Spotify using Chrome web browser:&nbsp;<A href="https://open.spotify.com/" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/</A></LI><LI>&nbsp;Click "Connect to a device" button. As it is Chrome it has the ability to cast to a Chromecast device.</LI><LI>Choose your Chromecast from the Chrome dialog box. Spotify hopefully plays on your Chromecast.</LI><LI>On your Android phone open Spotify and you should now see the currently playing track. You can now control the Chromecast from your Android phone.</LI></OL><P>This lasted about a week for me, where I was able to connect my Android Spotify to the Chromecast, before having to perform it again. Something is obviously up with the way Spotify on Android maintains it's connection.</P>Thu, 07 Nov 2019 17:20:20 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4854035#M67505mummybot2019-11-07T17:20:20ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4854053#M67507

That is hilarious! (and frustrating for you). I only have the one Chromecast at home, which might simplify things. Have you tried turning one of them off and seeing if the computer then finds it and the Android device registers it correctly?Thu, 07 Nov 2019 21:12:30 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4854108#M67508mummybot2019-11-07T21:12:30ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4866872#M67814
<P>Hi,&nbsp;</P><P>I have been having the same issue. However, being a little unfamiliar with all the options in Spotify I hadn't tried the following. Whether saved or downloaded, try 'liking' the album/song then seeing if it will cast successfully. I just tried a saved album that wouldn't cast. After liking all songs it now casts. Hope it works for you!&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Wed, 04 Dec 2019 19:35:54 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4866872#M67814Lancelink2019-12-04T19:35:54ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4867394#M67845

<P>Yes but that's not a solution it's a workaround.

<P>I have found that if I connect before playing a song it seems to work OK, but does not work if I already started the song on my phone first. If it hangs my workaround is to select a different device like a TV or stereo, then go back to the chromecast device.</P>Thu, 05 Dec 2019 22:41:45 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4867731#M67863Snowcoyote2019-12-05T22:41:45ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4878181#M68112
<P>I've been testing Spotify for about 6 weeks now and I find it to be incredibly frustrating when working with Chromecast devices. I have several Google Home speakers and speaker groups setup in my house. Spotify randomly/frequently disconnects/stops, will sometimes connect to speakers I did not specify (either by voice or app), and will not play on speakers I select (via app or browser). Basically, everything pretty much everyone on this thread has commented on. Hope this can be fixed soon as all of the other music apps I use DO NOT have this issue.</P>Mon, 30 Dec 2019 14:48:35 GMThttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4878181#M68112LouinNH2019-12-30T14:48:35ZRe: Google ChromeCast not working from Spotifyhttps://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Google-ChromeCast-not-working-from-Spotify/m-p/4896151#M68719
<P>I have found that songs that have been downloaded for offline playing in a Spotify playlist have the most issues when trying to use Chromecast to my Google Mini speakers.<BR /><BR />Streaming songs directly from the Internet over Spotify seem to work just fine.<BR /><BR />Problem is, i'm not sure if there is a way to fix this now. I have certain playlist that have been downloaded (so i can listen offline on airplanes while traveling) that are now local on my device. Not sure how to "un-download" these.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>EDIT: iPhone users can remove the download of playlist (mostly?) by going into the playlist and at the top of the list moving the Download slider from green to gray.

<P>I have the same problem, again and again. Its a google problem, not a spotify problem. For some reason the chrome cast audio appears on the phone, tablet, etc.... but not on the PC untill you used it with the phone, for example. My solution is going to cost you 25 $ - Get a Amazon echo flex, connect it to you speakers and mute its microphones. And there you go it will ALWAYS appear in spotify for pc.
